The registration for The European Big Data Value Forum 2017 (EBDFV) is now open!

EBDVF 2017, jointly organised by the European Commission, the Big Data Value Association (BDVA) and EDF (European Data Forum), will take place on the 21-23 November in Versailles and it will be a key European event for industry professionals, business developers, researchers, and policy makers to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the European data economy and data-driven innovation in Europe.

How can you benefit from patent information in your research?

2017-09-25

Research colleagues all around the world publish articles in scientific publications and you meet at conferences. We are of the understanding that you have a fairly good knowledge about your competition/colleagues, but how much do you know about the information that can be found in patent databases? A lot of interesting information can be found in open databases – a source of information that will enrich your research. At the seminar you will also get a glimpse into what help is available at, or in connection to, Linnaeus University.

At our assistance, we have two external experts from Awapatent. Magnus Ungsten, engineer in mechanical engineering and European Patent Attorney and Karl-Johan Grahn, doctor of philosophy in experimental physics.

This day has been designed primarily for employees at the faculty of technology but, of course, all employees are welcome.

Time: Monday, October 16, between 12 noon and 2 pm
Location: K1082, Växjö
We offer a simple lunch, free of charge – register no later than October 11 on gio@lnu.se
